Supermarket Chic at the Chanel show

Karl Lagerfeld is known for staging some of the coolest runway shows each season. They are never simple and always leave an impression for all of us to talk about for days afterwards! For the Autumn/winter 2014 collection in Paris yesterday, he transformed the runway into a CHANEL SUPERMARKET! Complete with Chanel groceries and trolleys. What a way to glamorize an everyday concept and make it oh so chic! How I wish I was there :(

Karl Lagerfeld created a supermarket where everything was CHANEL-ized

The Chanel supermarket was fully stocked with Chanel products

An appetizing fresh vegetable stand, Chanel Spaghetti, chic rubber gloves and Chanel Eggs

As they walked down the runway, the models shopped the isles in super cool trainers 

The It bag of next season?

Tweed and chain mini shopping baskets of course!

How can we ever shop in a regular supermarket from now on?!

Opening Party of the Chanel Little Black Jacket Exhibition

Last night I attended the launch party for the Chanel Little Black Jacket Exhibition in Dubai. (For my post on the exhibition in London with close up pics, CLICK HERE). All I can say is WOW! I have never attended an opening like that in my life- but then again, its CHANEL, so it can only be the best! 

The Exhibition is held in a very impressive HUGE black box in front of Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world

All of the photos are hanging in a large room. They are pictures of celebrities, muses, singers, and friends of Karl Lagerfeld that he photographed wearing the iconic black jacket. Each of the pictures is incredible and invokes a strong feeling inside- I felt it all over again even though I have seen them before!

We were then ushered into another black box but this time with millions of lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling and were given a surprise LIVE PERFORMANCE by Rita Ora!! It was unreal! She sang for about an hour clad in many different Chanel outfits. It turned into a full-out party with very yummy nibbles like sushi and mini burgers and champagne, and tons of people dancing and mingling. 

In the centre of the exhibit, there is a plastic case of LITTLE BLACK JACKET 

Coffee Table books signed by Mr. Lagerfeld

It is such a simple concept but yet looks so cool!  

All of the guests brought out their CHANEL for the evening (clothes, bags, shoes, jewellery) and they all looked absolutely amazing. Every single person styled the brand in their own way and I realized how versatile CHANEL is. Dress it up, dress is down, mix it with high street brands and it will STILL look special and timeless- so worth the investment! 

I bumped into the lovely Chanel Muses, Sama & Haya Abu Khadra

Theirs is one of the photos in the exhibition 

(Lucky them!)

Even if you don't love Chanel, the pictures are absolutely incredible and you should really make the time to see the exhibition...

The Little Black Jacket Exhibition will be held from April 27 to May 11 from 11 AM to 9 PM
